We are always in need of clean, gently used furniture and household items.
If you are wondering if we can use your furniture donation, consider that RFF gave away over 11,100 items last year (FY08-09) to almost 600 families. Our warehouse normally holds under 2,000 items, therefore, on average, our inventory turns over every two months and we must completely restock the warehouse up to six times per year. Your continued furniture and household goods donations are needed to help give families in need hope and a fresh start.
